CHANDNA, Mandeep Singh

Passed away on Thursday, January 31, 2019, at the age of 43. Mandeep is survived by his wife Manmeet Kaur Chandna, daughter Aikam Kaur Chandna, father Mehar Singh Chandna, sister Ameet Kaur Kooner (husband Gurjeet Singh Kooner) and niece Sanaa Kaur Kooner. There is comfort in knowing he is with his mother, Jasbir Kaur Chandna. Born on December 31, 1975, in Calgary, Mandeep, affectionately known to everyone as Montoo, had an infectious laugh and affable personality. His kind and gentle spirit put others at ease in any situation. He completed his education at Westgate Elementary, Vincent Massey Junior High, and Western Canada High School. He then attended the University of Calgary where he received his Bachelor of Commerce in Economics. Upon graduation, Mandeep joined his parents at the family business, Bombay Jewellers, which later became Koh-i-noor Jewellers. Keenly learning every detail, after several years he assumed full responsibility of the business his parents started over 40 years ago. Together, they created a trusted mainstay in the jewelry industry. Through Koh-i-noor Jewellers, Mandeep played a role in the celebrations and milestones of countless people. His inviting smile, caring nature and humble approach, left every customer feeling truly special. Never one to rest on his laurels, Mandeep also successfully managed commercial real estate and development. Most recently, his endeavour to establish a dental clinic with his wife Manmeet meant a great deal to him. While achieving professional success, Mandeep's central focus was to love and care for his family; he would do anything for them. His wife Manmeet and daughter Aikam were the light of his life. He cared deeply for them and loved every moment he had with the two of them. His great adoration for his parents and sister provided him with constant happiness. Mandeep lived his life following the values of his Sikh faith, he was a devoted son, brother, husband, father, cousin and friend. His smile and laughter will resonate forever in the hearts and minds of those that were so privileged to know Mandeep. He will be deeply missed. Funeral services will be held at 1:00 p.m., Thursday, February 7, 2019, at Country Hills Crematorium, 11995, 16 Street N.E. Prayer services will follow at Guru Ram Das Darbar, 5225 84 Street N.E.

Our heart felt condolences to the Chandna family & friends. Our prayers are with the family in these tough times...

I was terribly sad to learn of Mandeeps passing when I returned from being out of town recently. I have been a vendor to Mandeeps jewellery business the past several years and there was simply nobody kinder than Mandeep. His impeccable ethics and professionalism will be remembered. He was one of a kind. My condolences to his wife, daughter and entire family.

Very sad to hear about Mandeep leaving us for his next journey. Just saw his smiling face a few days ago at the store. A big void has been left not only in his family bet also his customers, friends and those who knew him. May he be blessed with eternal peace, and family get strength and healing from their faith.

It is too early for a good person like Mandeep to go to the next world leaving a big void here on earth. Saw him grow up to be a nice gentleman from a little boy. May the faith provide family strength and healing. Please accept our heartfelt condolences.

Sharing in the loss of Montoo. I can’t recall a single interaction that he was not smiling and jovial. I still remember being in India with family, on the other side of the world and we ran into Montoo. What a joy that was! The world is a small place, and a little less bright as his light is now with vaheguru.

It was with great sadness that I heard of Mandeep's passing today. Thank-you Mehar, Ameet and Gurjeet for letting me know about Mandeep's passing. I loved Mandeep - he was a gentlemen and a great human being. He was a true professional and as honest as they come. I knew Mandeep for 30 of his 43 years and he was always friendly and accommodating with me and the Watson family (Albern Coins). We will all miss him very much. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and the Chandna family.

I am so sorry for the loss of this wonderful young man. He touched many lives in his brief time on earth and mine was one of them. He was always smiling and positive and that is what I will remember of him the most. I wish you all peace during this terrible, terrible time.

THE DEPTHS OF THE SORROW I CAN NOT EXPRESS THE LOSS OF MANDEEP. THOUGH HE SLEEPS A PEACEFUL SLEEP, HIS MEMORY WE SHALL ALWAYS KEEP. GOD CALLED HIM FROM US TO A HOME OF ETERNAL REST WITH HIS MOTHER. THE WORLD MAY CHANGE FROM YEAR TO YEAR AND FRIENDS FROM DAY TO DAY, BUT NEVER WILL HIS MEMORY PASS AWAY FROM HIS FATHER MEHAR SINGH, SISTER AMEET, WIFE MANMEET, DAUGHTER AIKAM AND NIECE SANNA.
